Valentine's Day.
Now, obviously Valentine's Day is not as big in the decorating department as Christmas is but any excuse that I have to hang cute garland from the fireplace mantle, I'll take.
So, a few days ago when I got my Valentine's Day decor out I immediately noticed that I am lacking in decorations, especially when you compare it to everything I just took down. I remembered an adorable set of "Love Blocks" that I saw at Target and figured that I could probably duplicate them for less than the price tag that Target had on them. So I got to work.
I already had red, pink, light blue, silver and white paint on hand from previous DIY projects so the only thing that I needed was the wooden blocks.
I headed over to Home Depot and had 4 blocks cut out of a piece of 2x6 wood. The blocks are 4 1/2 inches in length.
I painted each block a different color, one red, one blue, one pink and one silver. After the blocks were dry I painted a letter on each block spelling out "LOVE" with the white paint. I used a heart for the "O" on the silver block just to be fancy.
Since I already had the paint on hand the total cost of this project was $6.50 for the piece of wood. That's half the price of the "Love Blocks" at Target.
Mission Accomplished.
